Continuity mistake: When news on Robert De Niro not having a casino license first hits the airwaves, the news broadcast displays a still picture of Joe Pesci having a conversation with his friend Frankie. The picture that they use is when Pesci and Frankie have tooth picks in their mouths because they don't want FBI agents lip reading what they are saying. But that didn't happen until later on in the movie. So how could they have displayed a picture of a conversation that hadn't taken place yet?
Suggested correction: Pesci can be seen holding and/or chewing on a toothpick multiple times throughout the movie, so it is more than likely that the picture was taken at a different time by a reporter while Nicky was seen in public.
